How long have you been at the shelter, Ash? I moved to Nashville Humane Association on April 23.

Backstory: I am a rescue from a shelter outside of Davidson County. Not much is known about my history before moving to NHA, but since I moved here, everyone keeps talking about how cute my litter-mates and I are! Also, I can’t see these freckles on my nose, but I hear they’re wonderful.

Any must know info you’d like to share? I’m happy-go-lucky and as sweet as can be. Every face I see makes my tail wag. I love snuggling. I love belly rubs. I’m playful. I’m curious. I’m friendly. I haven’t figured out my paws yet, so I’m a little bit clumsy at times, which I’m told makes me even more adorable. I am up to date on my puppy shots and I even have a microchip. I’m so ready for your unconditional love. Oh, did I mention I like to give kisses and nibble on earlobes?

What’s your best feature? My best feature is my puppy breath!

What is your favorite thing to chew? I’m teething right now, so pretty much EVERYTHING is my favorite thing to chew. I really want to like tennis balls, but they sometimes roll away from me and I don’t know where they go. It’s very confusing. So, my favorite thing to chew: soft dog toys that squeak. They never roll away like those silly tennis balls. Plus they’re noisy. The noisier the better.

Ash stretches after a nap, which she still loves to take — preferably on your lap.

Where do you prefer to take naps? Napping on your lap is my first choice. After that, a nice cuddly blanket. But I can basically nap anywhere. One minute I’m playing and the next I’m out cold. Then I wake up and start playing again. It’s a puppy thing.

Who do you have a crush on? I crush on every person I meet and I fall in puppy love daily. Every face I see I want to kiss. And with my puppy breath, people let me. Especially when I get picked up and we snuggle. My goal is to take all these crushes I have and turn it into unconditional love when I get adopted. I promise to be the best dog you have ever known. Please come meet me today at NHA. I want to be your Pick of the Litter!

Anything going on at NHA you’d like to talk about? Yes! Registration is now open for one of Nashville Humane Association’s biggest events, the 2018 Music City Mutt Strutt 5K Run/Walk. This 5K fundraiser is happening Saturday, May 20, at Nashville’s Shelby Bottoms Park. Every year at Music City Mutt Strutt, more than 1,000 people and pooches gather to strut their stuff for a great cause. All money raised through the Mutt Strutt enables the Nashville Humane Association to provide care and love to the animals, like me, entrusted to them each day. The event is fun for two- and four-legged family members, and NHA will even be awarding medals and special prizes. Register and support NHA here: http://nashvillehumane.org/mutt-strutt-5k/.

Incorporated in 1946 to protect the well-being of animals in Davidson County, is one of the oldest service organizations in Nashville.
